What we look for in Gwent
South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Gwent: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
If repairs in Gwent would leave obvious patches, we price an elevation recoat as an option.

Planning and building control in Wales
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission or building control. If repairs grow into re-rendering more than half of a wall, Building Regulations energy rules can apply.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
When is repair not enough?
If more than about a fifth of an elevation is hollow or cracked, re-rendering is often better value. Re-rendering more than half of a wall also brings Building Regulations into play in England and Wales.

Render repairs in Gwent: questions
Are hairline cracks a problem?
Fine crazing is often cosmetic. Cracks wider than about 1mm, stepped cracks or bulges should be checked, as water can get behind.
Can you match my existing render colour?
We get as close as possible, but weathered render rarely matches a new patch exactly. A full-elevation recoat gives an even finish.
Do you repair EWI as well as render?
Yes — see EWI repairs. The method differs because there's insulation behind the render.
Do you cover all of Gwent?
Yes. We survey and quote render repairs across Gwent, including Newport (Gwent), Cwmbran, Pontypool, Ebbw Vale, Caerphilly.
Do I need planning permission in Wales?
Permitted development rules for houses in Wales are similar to England's: a similar-appearance finish on a house is often permitted, while conservation areas, National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent. We check your address before quoting.
